Develop Across Salesforce With One CLI
Welcome to the Salesforce CLI Unification Demo CLI repo. We’re designing a new taxonomy and structure for Salesforce CLI with the intention of unifying all of Salesforce’s products under one CLI. Our goal is to provide a seamless developer experience when building applications on any Salesforce product as well as across products. The demo CLI is an interactive simulation that implements the new taxonomy and common workflows, although it doesn't actually do anything or change your environment. Only a handful of commands have full help content. Please test it out and tell us what you think.
Strategy
See Strategy and Strucuture for more details.
Install
npm install --global @salesforce/sf-demo
sf --help
Feedback
We built this demo CLI because we want feedback from the Salesforce Developer Community on the new structure. We also want to know whether our new design feels natural and is what you'd expect in a unified CLI experience. To provide feedback, use the issues tab in this repository.
Here’s the type of feedback we’re looking for:
- Overall impressions.
- How your experience could be improved. In particular:
- Was it easy to navigate?
- The commands:
sf project deploy
,sf login
, andsf env list
(along with a few others) have the updated help structure and output. Is it useful? sf login
,sf env list
, andsf project deploy
all simulate the cross cloud experience. Is this what you expected? What did you like? How could they be better?
- Are there
sfdx
commands that you use often but are missing from this demo CLI? (Note that this demo CLI doesn’t include all the commands that we plan to have insf
. ) - What did you like?
- What could be better?
Demo
There are two types of commands in this demo:
- Commands that simulate real workflows.
- Static commands provided to showcase the overall design, structure, and direction.
Simulation commands Try running running the following commands:
- sf login
- sf project deploy
- sf env list
- sf whoami
Static commands
These topics are speculative and are provided as an example of the types of topics that we expect to deliver. Please review them and provide feedback. Run --help with different levels of the demo CLI to navigate the tree. For example, sf --help
shows the top-level topics and commands, sf project --help
shows the subtopics and commands under project
, and so on.

sf env alias set [ALIAS]
You can associate an alias with only one environment at a time. If you’ve set an alias multiple times, the alias points to the most recent environment.
USAGE
$ sf env alias set [ALIAS]
OPTIONS
-t, --targetEnv=targetEnv The environment to set an alias for
--json format output as json
EXAMPLE
Set the alias "my-org" for a scratch org with username [email protected]:
sf env alias set [email protected]
sf env alias unset [ALIAS]
USAGE
$ sf env alias unset [ALIAS]
OPTIONS
-t, --targetEnv=targetEnv The environment to unset an alias for
--json format output as json
EXAMPLE
Unset the alias "my-org":
sf env alias unset my-org
sf env create compute [ENVNAME]
When creating compute environments, the --connected-org flag is required.
USAGE
$ sf env create compute [ENVNAME]
EXAMPLE
Create a compute environment with a sandbox as a connected org:
sf env create compute --alias=billingApp-Sandbox2 --connected-org=Sandbox2
sf env create org [ENVNAME]
Specify a configuration file or provide key=value pairs at the command line. Values specified on the command line override values in the configuration file.
USAGE
$ sf env create org [ENVNAME]
EXAMPLES
Create a scratch org from a configuration file and give it an alias:
sf env create org -f config/enterprise-scratch-def.json -a MyScratchOrg
Override a property in the configuration file at the command-line:
sf env create org -f config/enterprise-scratch-def.json -a MyScratchOrg edition=Developer
Create a sandbox:
sf env create org -t sandbox -f config/dev-sandbox-def.json -a MyDevSandbox -u prodOrg
sf env display
Specify an environment with the username you used when you logged into it with the "sf login" command or its alias. Run "sf env list" to view all your environments and their aliases.
USAGE
$ sf env display
OPTIONS
-e, --environment=environment (required)
--json format output as json
DESCRIPTION
The output depends on the type of environment. For example, scratch org details include the access token, alias,
username of the associated Dev Hub, the creation and expiration date, the generated scratch org username, and more.
Compute environment details include the associated orgs, the list of functions, the project name, and more.
EXAMPLE
- Display information about a scratch org with alias "my-scratch-org":
sf env display --environment=my-scratch-org
- Specify a username instead of an alias:
sf env display [email protected]
- Specify JSON format and redirect output into a file:
sf env display --environment=my-scratch-org --json > tmp/MyOrdDesc.json
sf env list
By default, the command displays only active environments. For orgs, that means unexpired scratch orgs and orgs you’re currently logged into. For compute environments, it means the environments connected to orgs you’re currently logged into. Use the --all flag to list expired scratch orgs and compute environments that aren’t connected to logged-in orgs. Warning: the latter list could be very long.
USAGE
$ sf env list
OPTIONS
-x, --extended show extra columns
--all include enviornments not yet connected
--columns=columns only show provided columns (comma-separated)
--csv output is csv format [alias: --output=csv]
--filter=filter filter property by partial string matching, ex: name=foo
--json format output as json
--no-header hide table header from output
--no-truncate do not truncate output to fit screen
--output=csv|json|yaml output in a more machine friendly format
--sort=sort property to sort by (prepend '-' for descending)
DESCRIPTION
The output is displayed in multiple tables, one for each environment type. For example, the Salesforce Orgs table
lists the non-scratch orgs you’re logged into, such as sandboxes, Dev Hubs, production orgs, and so on. Scratch orgs
and compute environments get their own tables.
For non-scratch orgs, the Username column refers to the user you logged into the org with. For scratch orgs it refers
to the username that was generated for you when you created the scratch org. The first column indicates the default
environment for each type.
Run "sf env display" to view details about a specific environment.
EXAMPLES
List all environments:
sf env list --all
List only connected orgs. Rows from only the Salesforce Orgs table are displayed because it’s the only table with a
"Status" column.
sf env list --filter="Status=Connected"
List only scratch orgs that expire after May 30, 2021:
sf env list --filter="Expiration>2021-05-30"
sf env log get
USAGE
$ sf env log get
sf env log list
USAGE

sf env open
You can open the following types of environments in a web browser: scratch orgs, sandboxes, Dev Hubs, and production orgs.
USAGE
$ sf env open
OPTIONS
-e, --target-env=target-env
Specify the login user or alias that’s associated with the environment. For scratch orgs, the login user is
generated by the command that created the scratch org. You can also set an alias for the scratch org when you create
it.
For Dev Hubs, sandboxes, and production orgs, specify the alias you set when you logged into the org with "sf
login".
-p, --path=path
-r, --url-only
--browser=browser
You can specify that the environment open in one of the following browsers: Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, or
Windows Edge. If you don’t specify --browser, the environment opens in your default browser.
--json
format output as json
DESCRIPTION
If you run the command without flags, it attempts to open your default environment in your default web browser.
Each of your environments is associated with an instance URL, such as https://login.salesforce.com. To open a specific
web page at that URL, specify the portion of the URL after "<URL>/" with the --path flag, such as /apex/YourPage to
open a Visualforce page.
EXAMPLES
To open your default environment, run the command without flags:
sf env open
Open the Visualforce page /apex/StartHere in a scratch org with alias "test-org":
sf env open --target-env test-org --path /apex/StartHere
View the URL but not launch it in a browser:
sf env open --target-env test-org --path /apex/StartHere --url-only
Open the environment in the Google Chrome browser:
sf env open --target-env test-org --path /apex/StartHere --browser chrome

sf generate community
When you execute this command, it creates the site in preview status, which means that it isn’t yet live. After you finish building your site, you can make it live.
USAGE
$ sf generate community
OPTIONS
-n, --name=name community name
--json format output as json
DESCRIPTION
When generating a site, template-specific optional parameters can be passed in via the form of
templateParams.name=value. Name and values are case-sensitive.

sf generate lightning component
The bundle consists of multiple files in a folder with the designated name.
USAGE
$ sf generate lightning component
DESCRIPTION
If not supplied, the apiversion, template, and outputdir use default values.
The outputdir can be an absolute path or relative to the current working directory.
If you don’t specify an outputdir, we create a subfolder in your current working directory with the name of your
bundle. For example, if the current working directory is force-app and your Lightning bundle is called myBundle, we
create force-app/myBundle/ to store the files in the bundle.
To generate a Lightning web component, pass --type lwc to the command. If you don’t include a --type value, Salesforce
CLI generates an Aura component by default.
EXAMPLE
Generate a Lightning web component called MyLwcComponent:
sf generate lightning component --component-name MyLwcComponent --type lwc
sf generate lightning event
The bundle consists of multiple files in a folder with the designated name.
USAGE
$ sf generate lightning event
DESCRIPTION
If not supplied, the apiversion, template, and outputdir use default values.
The outputdir can be an absolute path or relative to the current working directory.
If you don’t specify an outputdir, we create a subfolder in your current working directory with the name of your
bundle. For example, if the current working directory is force-app and your Lightning bundle is called myBundle, we
create force-app/myBundle/ to store the files in the bundle.
EXAMPLE
Generate a Lightening event called MyEvent:
sf generate lightning event --event-name MyEvent
sf generate lightning interface
The bundle consists of multiple files in a folder with the designated name.
USAGE
$ sf generate lightning interface
DESCRIPTION
If not supplied, the apiversion, template, and outputdir use default values.
The outputdir can be an absolute path or relative to the current working directory.
If you don’t specify an outputdir, we create a subfolder in your current working directory with the name of your
bundle. For example, if the current working directory is force-app and your Lightning bundle is called myBundle, we
create force-app/myBundle/ to store the files in the bundle.
EXAMPLE
Generate a Lightening interface called MyInterface:
sf generate lightning interface --interface-name MyInterface
sf generate project
Specify the function's programming language, such as Typescript or Javascript, with the --language flag.

sf login
The command first lists all the environments you can currently log into. After you chose one, the command provides a way for you to log into it, such as with a browser that opens https://login.salesforce.com for an org. Depending on the environment you chose, the command then prompts for other actions, such as whether to give an org an alias or set it as your default.
USAGE
$ sf login
OPTIONS
--json format output as json
DESCRIPTION
This command is fully interactive and has no flags other than displaying the command line help. Each environment that
you can log into has its own command, such as "sf login org". The environment-specific commands sometimes provide more
flag options than this interactive command does. For more information about the interactive prompts from this command,
see the help for the environment-specific command, such as "sf login org --help".
See code: src/commands/login.ts
sf login functions
Log in to a functions account.
USAGE
$ sf login functions
OPTIONS
-f, --jwt-file=jwt-file file containing the JWT private key
-i, --client-id=client-id OAuth client ID (sometimes called the consumer key)
--browser=chrome|firefox|safari browser to open SSO with
--json format output as json
EXAMPLES
sf login functions
sf login functions --jwt-file=./jwt.key --client-id XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
sf login org
This command opens a Salesforce instance URL in a web browser for you to then enter your credentials and log in to your org. After you log in, you can close the browser window.
USAGE
$ sf login org
OPTIONS
-i, --client-id=client-id
-r, --instance-url=instance-url
[default: https://login.salesforce.com] If you specify --instance-url, the value overrides the sfdcLoginUrl value in
your sfdx-project.json file.
To specify a My Domain URL, use the format https://yourcompanyname.my.salesforce.com.
To specify a sandbox, set --instance-url to https://test.salesforce.com.
--alias=alias
--browser=chrome|firefox|safari
You can specify that you want to log in to an org with one of the following browsers: Firefox, Safari, Google
Chrome, or Windows Edge. If you don’t specify --browser, you log in using your default browser.
--json
format output as json
--set-default
DESCRIPTION
Logging into an org authorizes the CLI to run other commands that connect to that org, such as deploying or retrieving
a project. You can log into many types of orgs, such as sandboxes, Dev Hubs, Env Hubs, production orgs, and scratch
orgs.
We recommend that you set an alias when you log into an org. Aliases make it easy to later reference this org when
running commands that require it. If you don’t set an alias, you use the username that you specified when you logged
in to the org. If you run multiple commands that reference the same org, consider setting the org as your default.
By default, this command uses the global out-of-the-box connected app in your org. If you need more security or
control, such as setting the refresh token timeout or specifying IP ranges, create your own connected app. Then
specify its consumer key with the --clientid flag.
EXAMPLES
If your org lives on the standard Salesforce login page (https://login.salesforce.com), run the command with no flags
to log in:
sf login org
If you log in to your Dev Hub, set an alias so you can reference it later when you create a scratch org:
sf login org --alias dev-hub
Log in to a sandbox and set it as your default org:
sf login org --instance-url https://test.salesforce.com --set-default
Use --browser to specify a specific browser, such as Google Chrome:
sf login org --instance-url https://test.salesforce.com --set-default --browser chrome
Use your own connected app by specifying its consumer key:
sf login org --instance-url https://test.salesforce.com --set-default --browser chrome --clientid 04580y4051234051
sf login org jwt
Use this command in automated environments where you can’t interactively log in with a browser, such as in CI/CD scripts.
USAGE
$ sf login org jwt
OPTIONS
-i, --client-id=client-id
(required)
-r, --instance-url=instance-url
[default: https://login.salesforce.com] If you specify an --instance-url value, this value overrides the
sfdcLoginUrl value in your sfdx-project.json file.
To specify a My Domain URL, use the format https://yourcompanyname.my.salesforce.com.
To specify a sandbox, set --instance-url to https://test.salesforce.com.
-u, --username=username
(required)
--alias=alias
--audience-url=audience-url
Overrides the aud (audience) field used for JWT authentication so that it matches the expected value of the
authorization server URL for the org you’re logging into. For example, "http://login.salesforce.com" for a
production org or "https://test.salesforce.com" for a sandbox.
--json
format output as json
--jwt-key-file=jwt-key-file
--set-default
DESCRIPTION
Logging into an org authorizes the CLI to run other commands that connect to that org, such as deploying or retrieving
a project. You can log into many types of orgs, such as sandboxes, Dev Hubs, Env Hubs, production orgs, and scratch
orgs.
Complete these steps before you run this command:
1. Create a digital certificate (also called digital signature) and the private key to sign the certificate. You can
use your own key and certificate issued by a certification authority. Or use OpenSSL to create a key and a self-signed
digital certificate.
2. Store the private key in a file on your computer. When you run this command, you set the --jwt-key-file flag to
this file.
3. Create a custom connected app in your org using the digital certificate. Make note of the consumer key (also called
cliend id) that’s generated for you. When you run this command, you set the --clientid flag to the consumer key. Be
sure the username of the user logging in is approved to use the connected app.
We recommend that you set an alias when you log into an org. Aliases make it easy to later reference this org when
running commands that require it. If you don’t set an alias, you use the username that you specified when you logged
in to the org. If you run multiple commands that reference the same org, consider setting the org as your default.
EXAMPLES
This example shows a user with username [email protected] logging into an org on the default instance URL
(https://login.salesforce.org). The private key is stored in the file /Users/jdoe/JWT/server.key and the command uses
the connected app with consumer key (client id) 04580y4051234051.
sf login org jwt --username [email protected] --jwt-key-file /Users/jdoe/JWT/server.key --clientid 04580y4051234051
Set the org as the default and gives it an alias:
sf login org jwt --username [email protected] --jwt-key-file /Users/jdoe/JWT/server.key --clientid 04580y4051234051
--alias ci-org --set-default
Use the --instance-url flag log in to a sandbox:
sf login org jwt --username [email protected] --jwt-key-file /Users/jdoe/JWT/server.key --clientid 04580y4051234051
--alias ci-org --set-default --instance-url https://test.salesforce.com
sf logout
Log out of all Salesforce orgs and environments.
USAGE
$ sf logout
See code: src/commands/logout.ts
sf logout org
USAGE
$ sf logout org
OPTIONS
-t, --target-org=target-org
--json format output as json
EXAMPLES
Log out of an org with alias "ci-org":
sf logout org --target-org ci-org
If your org doesn’t have an alias, specify the username that you used when you logged into it:
sf logout org --target-org [email protected]

sf plugins
list installed plugins
USAGE
$ sf plugins
OPTIONS
--core show core plugins
EXAMPLE
$ sf plugins
See code: @oclif/plugin-plugins
sf plugins:inspect PLUGIN...
displays installation properties of a plugin
USAGE
$ sf plugins:inspect PLUGIN...
ARGUMENTS
PLUGIN [default: .] plugin to inspect
OPTIONS
-h, --help show CLI help
-v, --verbose
EXAMPLE
$ sf plugins:inspect myplugin
sf plugins:install PLUGIN...
installs a plugin into the CLI
USAGE
$ sf plugins:install PLUGIN...
ARGUMENTS
PLUGIN plugin to install
OPTIONS
-f, --force yarn install with force flag
-h, --help show CLI help
-v, --verbose
DESCRIPTION
Can be installed from npm or a git url.
Installation of a user-installed plugin will override a core plugin.
e.g. If you have a core plugin that has a 'hello' command, installing a user-installed plugin with a 'hello' command
will override the core plugin implementation. This is useful if a user needs to update core plugin functionality in
the CLI without the need to patch and update the whole CLI.
ALIASES
$ sf plugins:add
EXAMPLES
$ sf plugins:install myplugin
$ sf plugins:install https://github.com/someuser/someplugin
$ sf plugins:install someuser/someplugin
sf plugins:link PLUGIN
links a plugin into the CLI for development
USAGE
$ sf plugins:link PLUGIN
ARGUMENTS
PATH [default: .] path to plugin
OPTIONS
-h, --help show CLI help
-v, --verbose
DESCRIPTION
Installation of a linked plugin will override a user-installed or core plugin.
e.g. If you have a user-installed or core plugin that has a 'hello' command, installing a linked plugin with a 'hello'
command will override the user-installed or core plugin implementation. This is useful for development work.
EXAMPLE
$ sf plugins:link myplugin
sf plugins:uninstall PLUGIN...
removes a plugin from the CLI
USAGE
$ sf plugins:uninstall PLUGIN...
ARGUMENTS
PLUGIN plugin to uninstall
OPTIONS
-h, --help show CLI help

-v, --verbose
sf project deploy
The command first analyzes your project, active or logged-into environments, and local defaults to determine what to deploy and where. The command then prompts you for information about this particular deployment and provides intelligent choices based on its analysis.
USAGE
$ sf project deploy
OPTIONS
--directory=directory directory to deploy
--interactive
--json format output as json
--target-env=target-env set
DESCRIPTION
For example, if your local project contains a package directory with metadata source files, the command asks if you
want to deploy that Salesforce app to an org. The command lists your connected orgs and asks which one you want to
deploy to. If the command finds Apex tests, it asks if you want to run them and at which level.
Similarly, if the command finds a local functions directory, the command prompts if you want to deploy it and to which
compute environment. The command prompts and connects you to a compute environment of your choice if you’re not
currently connected to any.
This command must be run from within a project.
The command stores your responses in a local file and uses them as defaults when you rerun the command. Specify
--interactive to force the command to reprompt.
Use this command for quick and simple deploys. For more complicated deployments, use the environment-specific
commands, such as "sf project deploy org", that provide additional flags.
EXAMPLES
sf project deploy
sf project deploy --target-env=devhub
sf project deploy functions
USAGE
$ sf project deploy functions
EXAMPLE
Deploy all functions to the connected org with alias "Scratch1":
sf project deploy functions --connected-org=Scratch1
sf project deploy org
The source you deploy overwrites the corresponding metadata in your org. This command doesn’t attempt to merge your source with the versions in your org. If the command detects a conflict, it displays the conflicts but doesn’t complete the process. After reviewing the conflict, rerun the command with the --force-overwrite flag to overwrite the org.
USAGE
$ sf project deploy org
OPTIONS
-c, --check-only
If you change a field type from Master-Detail to Lookup or vice versa, that change isn’t supported when using the
--check-only parameter to test a deployment (validation). This kind of change isn’t supported for test deployments
to avoid the risk of data loss or corruption. If a change that isn’t supported for test deployments is included in a
deployment package, the test deployment fails and issues an error.
If your deployment package changes a field type from Master-Detail to Lookup or vice versa, you can still validate
the changes prior to deploying to Production by performing a full deployment to another test Sandbox. A full
deployment includes a validation of the changes as part of the deployment process.
Note: A Metadata API deployment that includes Master-Detail relationships deletes all detail records in the Recycle
Bin in the following cases.
1. For a deployment with a new Master-Detail field, soft delete (send to the Recycle Bin) all detail records before
proceeding to deploy the Master-Detail field, or the deployment fails. During the deployment, detail records are
permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin and cannot be recovered.
2. For a deployment that converts a Lookup field relationship to a Master-Detail relationship, detail records must
reference a master record or be soft-deleted (sent to the Recycle Bin) for the deployment to succeed. However, a
successful deployment permanently deletes any detail records in the Recycle Bin.
-d, --deploy-dir=deploy-dir
The root must contain a valid package.xml file describing the entities in the directory structure. This flag is
requiredto initiate a deployment if you don’t use --zip-file. If you specify both --zip-file and --deploy-dir, a zip
file of the contents of the --deploy-dir directory is written to the location specified by --zip-file.
If you specify this flag, don’t specify --metadata or --manifest.
-m, --metadata=metadata
-x, --manifest=manifest
If you specify this flag, don’t specify --metadata or --deploy-dir.
--force-overwrite
--ignore-errors
The default is to not ignore errors. Don’t specify this flag when deploying to a production org. If you specify the
flag, components without errors are deployed, and components with errors are skipped.
--ignore-warnings
The default is to not ignore warnings. If a warning occurs and you specified this flag, the success field in
DeployMessage is set to true. If you didn’t specify this flag, success is set to false, and the warning is treated
like an error.
--json
format output as json
--run-tests=run-tests
--single-package
Use this flag with the --zip-file flag. By default, the CLI assumes the directory is structured for a set of
packages.
--soap-deploy
Because SOAP API has a lower .ZIP file size limit (400 MB uncompressed, 39 MB compressed), Salesforce recommends
REST API deployment. This flag provides backwards compatibility with API version 50.0 and earlier when deploy used
SOAP API by default.
--target-env=target-env
(required) environment you want to deploy to
--test-level=(NoTestRun|RunSpecifiedTests|RunLocalTests|RunAllTestsInOrg)
Valid values are:
- NoTestRun — No tests are run. This test level applies only to deployments to development environments, such as
sandbox, Developer Edition, or trial orgs. This test level is the default for development environments.
- RunSpecifiedTests — Runs only the tests that you specify with the --run-tests flag. Code coverage requirements
differ from the default coverage requirements when using this test level. Executed tests must comprise a minimum of
75% code coverage for each class and trigger in the deployment package. This coverage is computed for each class and
trigger individually and is different than the overall coverage percentage.
- RunLocalTests — All tests in your org are run, except the ones that originate from installed managed packages.
This test level is the default for production deployments that include Apex classes or triggers.
- RunAllTestsInOrg — All tests in your org are run, including tests of managed packages.
If you don’t specify a test level, the default behavior depends on the contents of your deployment package. For more
information, see “Running Tests in a Deployment” in the Metadata API Developer Guide.
--validated-deploy-request-id=validated-deploy-request-id
Specifies the ID of a package with recently validated components to run a Quick Deploy. Deploying a validation helps
you shorten your deployment time because tests aren’t rerun. If you have a recent successful validation, you can
deploy the validated components without running tests. A validation doesn’t save any components in the org.
You use a validation only to check the success or failure messages that you would receive with an actual deployment.
It doesn’t validate your components. This flag sets the checkOnly="true" parameter for your deployment. Before
deploying a recent validation, ensure that the following requirements are met:
1. The components have been validated successfully for the target environment within the last 10 days.
2. As part of the validation, Apex tests in the target org have passed.
3. Code coverage requirements are met:
- If all tests in the org or all local tests are run, overall code coverage is at least 75%, and Apex triggers have
some coverage.
- If specific tests are run with the RunSpecifiedTests test level, each class and trigger that was deployed is
covered by at least 75% individually.
--wait=wait
Default is -1 (no limit).
--zip-file=zip-file
You must indicate this flag or --deploy-dir. If you specify both --zip-file and --deploy-dir, a .zip file of the
contents of the deploy directory is created at the path specified for the .zip file.
DESCRIPTION
To run the command asynchronously, set --wait to 0, which immediately returns the job ID. This way, you can continue
to use the CLI. By default the command waits to finish no matter how long the deployment takes.
To run a quick deploy of a recently validated package, use --validated-deploy-request-id with the validated ID.
You must run this command from wihin a project.
If the comma-separated list you’re supplying contains spaces, enclose the entire comma-separated list in one set of
double quotes. On Windows, if the list contains commas, also enclose the entire list in one set of double quotes.
EXAMPLES
Deploy the source files in a directory:
sf project deploy org --deploy-dir path/to/source
Deploy a specific Apex class and the objects whose source is in a directory:
sf project deploy org --deploy-dir "path/to/apex/classes/MyClass.cls,path/to/source/objects"
Deploy source files in a comma-separated list that contains spaces:
sf project deploy org --deploy-dir "path/to/objects/MyCustomObject/fields/MyField.field-meta.xml,
path/to/apex/classes"
Deploy all Apex classes:
sf project deploy org --metadata ApexClass
Deploy a specific Apex class:
sf project deploy org --metadata ApexClass:MyApexClass
Deploy all custom objects and Apex classes:
sf project deploy org --metadata "CustomObject,ApexClass"
Deploy all Apex classes and two specific profiles (one of which has a space in its name):
sf project deploy org --metadata "ApexClass, Profile:My Profile, Profile: AnotherProfile"
Deploy all components listed in a manifest:
sf project deploy org --manifest path/to/package.xml
Run the tests that aren’t in any managed packages as part of a deployment:
sf project deploy org --metadata ApexClass --test-level RunLocalTests
Check whether a deployment would succeed (to prepare for Quick Deploy):
sf project deploy org --metadata ApexClass --test-level RunAllTestsInOrg --check-only
Deploy an already validated deployment (Quick Deploy):
sf project deploy org --validated-deploy-request-id 0Af9A00000FTM6pSAH
Deploy a .zip file:
sf project deploy org --zip-file path/to/zip/mypackage.zip
Deploy a .zip file that points to a single package:
sf project deploy org --zip-file path/to/zip/mypackage.zip --single-package
sf project retrieve
The command first analyzes your project, active or logged-into orgs, and local defaults to determine what to retrieve. The command then prompts you for information about this particular retrieve and provides intelligent choices based on its analysis.
USAGE
$ sf project retrieve
OPTIONS
--interactive
--json format output as json
DESCRIPTION
This command must be run from within a project.
The command stores your responses in a local file and uses them as defaults when you rerun the command. Specify
--interactive to force the command to reprompt.
Use this command for quick and simple retrieves. For more complicated scenarios, use "sf project retrieve org" which
provides additional flags.
sf project retrieve org
The source you retrieve overwrites the corresponding source files in your local project . This command doesn’t attempt to merge the source from your org with your local source files. If the command detects a conflict, it displays the conflicts but doesn’t complete the process. After reviewing the conflict, rerun the command with the --force-overwrite flag to overwrite your local files.
USAGE
$ sf project retrieve org
DESCRIPTION
If the comma-separated list you’re supplying contains spaces, enclose the entire comma-separated list in one set of
double quotes. On Windows, if the list contains commas, also enclose the entire list in one set of double quotes.
You must run this command from wihin a project.
EXAMPLES
Retrieve the source files in a directory:
sf project retrieve org --source-path path/to/source
Retrieve a specific Apex class and the objects whose source is in a directory:
sf project retrieve org --source-path "path/to/apex/classes/MyClass.cls,path/to/source/objects"
Retrieve source files in a comma-separated list that contains spaces:
sf project retrieve org --source-path "path/to/objects/MyCustomObject/fields/MyField.field-meta.xml,
path/to/apex/classes"
Retrieve all Apex classes:
sf project retrieve org --metadata ApexClass
Retrieve a specific Apex class:
sf project retrieve org --metadata ApexClass:MyApexClass
Retrieve all custom objects and Apex classes:
sf project retrieve org --metadata "CustomObject,ApexClass"
Retrieve all metadata components listed in a manifest:
sf project retrieve org --manifest path/to/package.xml
Retrieve metadata from a package:
sf project retrieve org --package-names MyPackageName
Retrieve metadata from multiple packages:
sf project retrieve org --package-names "Package1, PackageName With Spaces, Package3"

sf test apex
Specify which tests to run by using the --class-names, --suites, or --tests parameters. Alternatively, use the --test-level parameter to run all the tests in your org, local tests, or specified tests.
USAGE
$ sf test apex
DESCRIPTION
To see code coverage results, use the --code-cmverage parameter with --result-format. The output displays a high-level
summary of the test run and the code coverage values for classes in your org. If you specify human-readable result
format, use the --detailed-coverage parameter to see detailed coverage results for each test method run.
NOTE: The testRunCoverage value (JSON and JUnit result formats) is a percentage of the covered lines and total lines
from all the Apex classes evaluated by the tests in this run.
